Of potential interest, RPI placed 2nd nationally by Career Outcomes in this analysis.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Oldest technical university in the country.

Also useful to note that these figures (according to your link) are the amount of over the average a tech alum earns.
Though, as a (highly paid) STEM alum myself, I note that they don't really clarify by what they mean by "XXX tech alum" - is that the average? median?

So I don't really put too much stock in this. No association myself, but GATech esp strikes me as a totally good bargain that this "survey" would not cause me to change my view of at all. Def. ignoring Santa Clara University - I mean, in Silicon valley, $30k above the tech average would get you an outhouse to live in. No thanks.

They're a big deal in engineering.

There are many, many highly paid tech jobs outside of engineering, like product management and sales.

Basically, it's a list of "pay a sh*% ton of money if you want your kids to have a higher chance of getting a really high paid job.

But tiny, so it makes sense that a random dcum nobody wouldn't know about it. Odd that they don't know how to Google.

That seems to be a common issue on DCUM.

They apparently got so excited finding a Top list for Tech/Engineering Georgia Tech wasn't on that they got too excited and got careless. Narrative they wanted didn't work out for them.

My DC graduated in 25 from a nescac - was an athlete so think that helped, but landed a great tech role in NYC. SLACs punch well above their weight with tech, especially athletes with data and econ backgrounds who can actually talk to adults
